Aston Villa fans should probably just stay off social media for a while.

The winless run is bad enough as it is without having to suffer the cyber stick doing the rounds.

Sure it's good to vent and get things off your chest with a tweet or 10, but at the moment, the ridicule is high and the reality is cutting for the claret and blue faithful.

These are some of the messages that were sent out after Villa's latest debacle at Preston North End, where Roberto Di Matteo's team suffered a 2-0 defeat to crank up the misery levels.

Villa have won one, drawn seven and lost three of their first 11 Championship matches to leave them languishing in the lower regions of the division rather than pushing for promotion.

If you've had enough grief, then look away now.
